Abstract
The Conquista Fault is a high-temperature, ductile shear-zone developed along the northern contact of the Los Pedroches batholith in the southern part of the Central Iberian Zone (Variscan Belt, Spain). Structural and kinematic criteria show that the Conquista fault is a dextral oblique shear with a component of eastward extension. The motion of the Conquista fault is consistent with that of a transfer shear-zone subordinate to the eastward-directed late extensional evolution of the Central Iberian Zone.
